Chapter Seven
Realization
Warm water cascaded down tanned skin relishing in undoing all the kinks and knots built up from last night. Naruto sighed relaxing as the shower head continue to pour the heated heaven upon him cleansing and relaxing at the same time. Him mind enjoying the myriad of sounds of the water hitting the floor as the steam wrapped around him like a warm blanket reminding him of his oh so wonderful bed.
Unfortunately that thought had also connected itself to another causing cerulean eyes flew open, a massive blush covering his entire body.
Wait let me get this straight Naruto mentally droned
have some freakin nightmare and forget about it all in the morning making a complete and utter arse of myself by accusing the bastard of molesting me Naruto flushed again when he thought about said boy.
But when I get piss arse drunk and start molesting him I fucking remember!! Naruto groaned slamming his head against the wall praying the gods would be kind to him and let the ground swallow him whole.
....
So the God weren’t kind and Naruto found himself sneaking around his house trying to avoid Sasuke. He was currently peeking into the living room whilst the mission impossible theme song played in his head. His stomach had decided it was high time or some of man’s greatest creation: ramen.
Left
Right
No Sasuke
Sprinting as fast as he could towards the kitchen Naruto grabbed his ramen poured water in it and shoved it into the microwave as quickly and quietly as he could hoping to run back up to the safety of his room. Naturally ignoring the fact that every time he looked at his bed he was hit by the images of his drunken attempt of seduction; of course by that point he had convinced himself it was the alcohol talking and not some secret hidden desire of his that had pretty much demanded Sasuke to take his big V. But whatever they do say denial is a man’s best friend.
Waiting impatiently for the microwave to beep its readiness Naruto was oblivious to the figure that was moving towards him.
When the sound of the beep was heard Naruto semi-violently threw the microwave door open grabbing his cup of heaven before spinning around chopsticks already in hand so he could rush back to his room.
However that plan seemed futile since the moment he turned he saw who was in front of him. Letting out a scream that was 100% manly Naruto threw his ramen in to the air tripping over god knows what before falling flat on his face with his butt in the air. And if that was enough just to add insult to injury his steaming hot ramen dropped all over behind causing undoubtedly sever burns. Yelping in shock Naruto sat up stiffly hands on his arse “fuck, shit it burns.” He cursed rubbing his sore behind. “Dammit teme help my arse is on fucking fire” Naruto half growled half winced seeing the bastard just stand there an amused expression on his face.
Naruto kept rubbing at his poor abused butt hoping to lesson the stinging sensation when the shock of something cold hitting that area caused his to jump up standing crying out again from the pain of moving said abused muscle. “What the fuck”
Sasuke stood there in front of him an empty glass in his had one eyebrow cocked in questioning whilst clear amusement could be seen shinning throw onyx eyes.
“Why the hell did you do that for” Naruto shouted figuring out where the cold substance had come from or should he say who.
“Helping” Sasuke replied bored but the laughter could still be seen in his eyes.
“So you fucking throw water on me” Naruto cried out indigently.
“Hn” was Sasuke’s more than irritating reply before putting the glass down and leaving the poor blonde to the misery of not only soothing the pain of his behind but having to make another cup of ramen to soothe the pain in his stomach.
….
Two hours later found Naruto sitting on his bed clothes changed and happily munching on his ramen with an ice pack under his butt. He hadn’t seen Sasuke since that unfortunate incident in the kitchen, though on the plus side it had caused him to forget why he had been avoiding said raven and allowing him to return to his normal attitude around him. But once Naruto had calmed down and having recalled why he was ignoring the ghosty he went bright as a tomato fleeing to his room whilst conveniently forgetting cold water or not his arse was still very much on fire resulting in his gripping it cursing all the way to hell as he hoped around his room like some deranged kangaroo. It had taken him over an hour to stop with the hoping and actually be okay enough to change clothes all the while wincing how red his butt looked. Then he once again had to sneakily try to make more ramen. Fortunately it seemed lady luck decided to smile down on him as he did not have any more encounters with the duck butt ghost, and was even able to grab a bag of ice from the freezer before rushing back upstairs and sighing in pleasure having now finally eased the pain on his behind and his stomach.
Lying down on his bed arms and legs spread out whilst staring at the white ceiling, the ramen cup and ice bag were both thrown in the bin having completed their use, because honestly as if he would refrigerate something he sat and maybe farted on. Okay fine definitely farted on but it’s his own house if he couldn’t fart there where the heck could he. Besides it’s better to let it out than keep it in who knows what kinds of problems it may cause.
Well returning back to the topic ah yes Naruto racked his brains trying to figure what to do about the Sasuke situation. Okay the new Sasuke situation. Sasuke situation number two Naruto nodded to himself just to avoid any confusion between the first Sasuke situations which ended up in a complete failure. Shaking his head Naruto dispelled all thoughts of the first situation because this situation was completely different and better yet it would not end in failure.
So what was he to do?
He couldn’t avoid him forever since you know they lived together and all.
So instead maybe he could come with some excuses.
Sitting up determined Naruto walked over to his mirror ready to try out some of his ideas and hopefully dispel any lingering awkwardness between him and the Ghosty that may cause an abrupt change in facial colour to match one of his least loved vegetables or is it a fruit? Naruto tilted his head in question.
Okay no, slapping his cheeks to bring himself back into focus he never realized how little of an attention span he had.
Standing straight whilst squaring his shoulders cerulean eyes darkened slightly in concentration as messy untameable blonde lock stood out in every direction on to of his head.
Taking a deep breath in before releasing it Naruto opened his mouth “Sasuke” he managed to release before cringing at how utterly lame that sounded.
Steeling himself he tried again “Teme lets forget about last night it was just the alcohol talking” Naruto laughed half heartedly as he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. It was better he managed to say more than one word and he could just imagine Sasuke’s reply
“Hn dobe”
Which will cause Naruto to call him “teme”
And Sasuke again to reply with “idiot” and than they’d fall back into their usual bantering and thus ends the story of Sasuke’s embarrassment of turning tomato red i.e. dubbed the Sasuke situation number two. Because after all everyone know Naruto doesn’t get embarrassed easily and as if he would really flush like a little school girl.
Besides it was all Sasuke’s fault that Naruto started drinking anyway. Stilling Naruto’s face brightened in his realization. Of course it was Sasuke’s fault so why the heck was he trying to find a way to dispel the awkwardness it should be Sasuke. Nodding to himself Naruto stormed out of his room going to find his raven haired roomy and demand why he wasn’t the one apologizing for last night.
….
After going through every room Naruto was still unable to find Sasuke he. He had even altered between calling out his name and duck butt moron yet still no reply.
Huffing in annoyance Naruto collapsed onto the sofa. The fire in the fire place was blazing angrily in red, orange and yellow matching Naruto’s mood perfectly.
All day he had spent searching for that teme and not one sight of his ghosty butt. It was rather ironic here Naruto had spent all morning hiding from him only to have a rather embarrassing moment in the kitchen. Yet when he wanted the ghosty he ups and disappears.
He had jumped into an old now pale orange shirt with FCUK written in faded black letters and a pair of his most comfy boxers which just happened to be white with orange fox prints all over it. It was now past 11 and Naruto was irritated that Sasuke had yet to return so he decided to wait up for him.
Of course any normal person would’ve just waited until tomorrow for the confrontation since it being so late. But Naruto was firstly not a normal person being very stubborn, and secondly had a speech all prepared for the bastard that he knew he would forget tomorrow. Then again he could barely recall half of what he wanted to say now with his mind having been preoccupied with tormenting his supernatural roommate. He was rather enjoying the image of Sasuke drowning in a pool of yellow duckies. He could just see the banner waving in the air with an army of yellow duckies beneath it screaming “Death to Sasuke for styling his hair to look like our butts”
Naruto burst out laughing falling on the couch sideways whilst holding his stomach at the image.
The slight shift in weight of the sofa alerted Naruto to the presence of the other but rather than screaming out in shock as he usually did when Sasuke made his unannounced appearance, as soon as Naruto looked at Sasuke namely the duck butt hair he fell into another fir of giggles as his mind was assaulted by an army of duckies all geared up to defeat the fraudster.
Sasuke just cocked and eyebrow face impassive not showing his curiosity as to why the blonde man was hunched over in hysterics.
Soon enough the laughter died down only to be replaced with a few giggles here and there as Naruto calmed himself down, all thoughts of murder having fled and instead he found himself in a rather good mood. He wiped the remainder of tears from his eyes sitting up straight as he looked toward his pale skinned companion.
Remembering what wanted to say he pointed his finger at said raven before crying out loudly “Teme”
Sasuke just gave him a “what” look.
Bristling “don’t give that look you know what” huffing Naruto folded his arms against his chest his good mood dwindling fast only to be replayed by annoyance.
“Obviously I don’t dobe” Sasuke drawled sarcastically
Puffing his cheeks out at Sasuke’s tone Naruto was tempted to deck him one. But instead he chose the mature option which was to explain to his mentally retarded rommie.
“Last night”
Sasuke just raised an eyebrow in questioning.
Why the heck can’t I do that Naruto mentally groaned seeing Sasuke’s question without him speaking, it wasn’t fair that Sasu-teme could make all the cool facial expression whist he was just stuck with plain normal boring ones.
Seeing that Naruto wasn’t going to reply to non verbal question he decided to use his vocals instead. “What about last night?” came Sasuke monotonous question.
“You know what?” Naruto insisted he knew Sasuke was just playing dumb so Naruto could feel like it was his fault that everything happened last night when in fact it was Sasuke. Naruto knew his game and he was determined to win at it
“Dobe” Naruto could hear a hint of annoyance tracing Sasuke’s tone however he chose to ignore it figuring it was just a ploy to throw him off so he wouldn’t blame Sasuke.
“It’s you fault I got drunk”
“…”
“What it is?” Naruto huffed getting all defensive he really didn’t like the look Sasuke was giving him made him feel as if he was a crazy person. He wasn’t that was Sasuke.
“My fault”
“Yes” Naruto nodded however he felt a cold chill crawl up his spin as he watched the rather evil smirk grace Sasuke’s lips.
“So you admit you like me”
“Eh” Naruto sat stupefied
“Dobe weren’t you the one who said it was my fault you got drunk and the reason you got drunk was because you like me” Sasuke told him rather rationally all the while his smirk growing until it was a massive grin though still evil looking.
Naruto stared at him stumped his mind trying to process everything that was said though he was having some difficulty getting past the evil grin, mainly since it was a grin something had yet to see grace Sasuke’s features until now rather than the fact it was evil looking.
Finally when his mind processed what the evil grinning man said
“EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…………..” Naruto blushed pushing himself as far back into the couch as he could “what the hell teme I don’t like you” he squeaked
Not once the evil grin remove itself from Sasuke’s face. “Then why is it my fault you got drunk?”
“B-Because” Naruto stuttered not thinking his plan of confrontation would ever backfire on him.
“Because”
“Be-because I said so” was Naruto’s witty reply. Sitting back up to appear non-intimidated whilst Sasuke just cocked and eyebrow
“Stop looking at me like that” if Naruto was an animal you could defiantly see his fur bristling however since he wasn’t he just looked constipated.
“Hn”
“Shut up”
“Hn” Naruto could see the smirk on Sasuke’s face knowing was deliberately doing it
“Stop it dammit for once speak people language”
“….Hn”
“Gahhh” Naruto threw up his hands,
and Sasuke thought he liked him “I don’t like you” he shouted trying to convince the stupid stubborn ghost
Sasuke just cocked an eyebrow his expression saying “I really believe you”
“Fuck you, you know what you’re a fucking bastard.” And before either of them could do anything Naruto grabbed Sasuke’s face seriously pissed and intent on screaming at him. However his body decided to ignore his brain again and the next thing he knew, soft lips were pressing against his own.
